So I went and bought CVS Continuous Spray Sunscreen to take on my trip to California for the Sony Mommy Blogger Event. I also went and got my nails done at the same time. I can’t be representing the Domestic Diva with messed up nails and sunburned skin. Anyway, the other day I put it on and some of it got on my “new nails”. I didn’t think anything of it except for the fact that my nails got sticky all of a sudden. I quickly tried to wash this stuff of but apparently the damage was already done. CVS brand Sunscreen ruined my $30 nail job. The stuff just ate right through the fingernail polish.
If this stuff eats through fingernail polish like it was fingernail polish remover, imagine what else this stuff can do. I think I am going to leave this stuff behind in the hotel because it sounds a little dangerous to me.
Who would have thought that sunscreen would try to eat you alive?
Irene Said:
Oh my. I don’t think I’d be interested in using any product that can “eat” through anything, even nailpolish. *lol* WOW. That’s a bit frightening, isn’t it?

I think that any sunblock will do that:( When I was a preschool teacher and had acrylics I had to wear rubber gloves because the sunblock destroyed them!! Such a bummer.

Pretty much any aerosol will do that to polish and acrylic. I’ve been getting my nails done for over 15 years and my nail tech told me that years ago when I went in complaining that my polish was suddenly dull and coming off for “no reason.” A lot of general hair products will do it too. It’s just a chemical reaction.

That cracks me up! I am a CVS addict but that is one product I will have to avoid….oh wait, except I NEVER GET MY NAILS DONE! So, I guess I am safe.
